Democrats Actively Seek CENSORSHIP!

"These are American Representatives? Not Chinese or North Korean?"

House Democrats Query TV Channel Distributors Over Carriage Of “Misinformation Rumor Mills” Fox News, Newsmax And OAN

Quote:
Two prominent House Democrats have fired off a letter to AT&T, Comcast and Amazon and other channel distributors, asking them whether they plan to continue carrying Fox News, One America News Network and Newsmax.

In the letter, Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and Rep. Jerry McNerney (D-CA) single out the networks as “misinformation rumor mills and conspiracy theory hotbeds that produce content that leads to real harm.”

“Misinformation on TV has led to our current polluted information environment that radicalizes individuals to commit seditious acts and rejects public health best practices, among other issues in our public discourse,” they wrote in the letters. (Read them here). The letter was sent to 12 cable, satellite and streaming companies.
"But only misinformation on 3 networks? The rest of the misinformation is OK?"

Rebuttal...
House Democrats call for NewsMax censorship - Free speech in jeopardy

A lot of noise, that is all. There is no way anyone will listen to this nonsense. So long as these stations are in demand, cable, satellites provider and streaming companies will make them available. To be fair, I do not think many Democrats would agree with is nonsense.

So...you don't think very much censorship is going on in this country? Nothing to see here?

The naive of this world always seem to think that all that political bad stuff only happens elsewhere and can never happen here.

It is very likely to disappear completely and then reappear in ten years, and while some might say that it is the worst case scenario is does not even take into consideration that people we elect learned nothing.

Yes...real science depends on transparency, open debate, free exchange of ideas, etc.; however the religion of Scientism does not. Scientism says: "It's our way or you hit the highway." The sign on Scientism's door reads: Do not enter if you question our dogma. Critical analysis or true scientific inquiry not welcome here.
